by making this all about hamas, hamas, hamas, senator scott is effectively echoing hamas' own argument that hamas is the true face of palestinians' struggle, and i reject that. because, my friends, day after day, year after year, decade after decade, nonviolent palestinian activists struggle against the daily violence and harassment of occupation. violence and harassment subsidized, by the way, with billions of u.s. taxpayer dollars. let us be very clear, no one is arguing that israel or any government does not have the right to self-defense and the responsibility to protect its people. we should understand that while hamas firing rockets into israeli communities is absolutely unacceptable, today's conflict did not begin with those rockets. it goes much, much deeper. for years we have seen a deepening israeli occupation in the west bank and east jerusalem and a perpetual blockade on gaza, all of which makes life increasingly unbearable for the palestinian people. the truth is these policies, like this current war, will continue to strengthen, to strengthen extremists on both sides, inc

hamas targeted civilians. they kidnapped innocent children as well as people as old as 85 years old. israel is not doing that. as israel has begun to respond in gaza to indiscriminate and barbaric targeting of innocent israeli citizens, some have called for a cease-fire. a cease-fire would be a strategic victory for hamas. it would simply allow hamas to bide his time and prepare for future attacks and pay no price for the greatest loss of jewish lives in a single day since the holocaust. could you clarify the administration's decision on a cease-fire? >> first of all, senator, i fully agree with you that no country, no country could tolerate what israel suffered on october 7th. it is extraordinary the extent to which that today has receded in memory for so many. i was in israel shortly after the attack. i have been going to israel professionally for 30 years. and a longer than that in my own life. i have never seen what we have all seen and what israel experienced on that day in terms of the impact that it had

rockets fired by hamas. we rushed into a shelter and waited with baited breath until they told us the coast was clear. it happened again in the evening, moments before a press conference that had to be delayed that we held on sunday. for us, the danger was momentary, thank god, but it's haroing to think that the israelis are going through this and more every day. as the first jewish leader, the highest ranking jewish leader in america, someone who had knowledge of the persecutions and ravages that have affected the jewish people through the decades, the centuries, the millennia. and push back against the dangerous false equivalencesy between what hamas is doing and the response against them. let us be clear, hamas is an evil organization that wants to see israel wiped off the face of the map. they don't believe in a two-state solution. they want no israel and no jews living between the jordan and the mediterranean. eliminating israel is part of their charter, so is the killing of jews. if left to their own d
